I have a Mavic Pro 1 and just picked up a Tello Boost Combo on Black Friday for $99. Flying indoors has been hit or miss for me. The Tello needs good lighting or the VPS shuts down and then it's hard to control. But if the lighting is good, this thing is a lot of fun. If you decide to go with...

Welcome. My wife and I were up in Laconia 2 weeks ago. We stayed at the Grand View Resort, right on Lake Winnipesaukee. I bought a used Mavic Pro 1 Fly More package, back in February. This was my first drone. I took some nice videos of the lake and Weirs beach area. Good luck with your purchase.

I'm fairly new to drones and video editing myself. I'm sure somebody, with a lot more knowledge than me can explain more about this. But I believe that a lot depends on the quality of the video that you are shooting (1080, 2.7K, 4K). The higher the quality, the more intense the editing /...

Which ever software that your thinking about getting, make sure that your PC has at least the minimum system requirements. Video editing / encoding is very processor intensive.

Another good free one is Shotcut. There are a lot of tutorials on Youtube, showing you how to use it.

Thanks. My wife and I were up in Ogunquit for our 40th anniversary. We went to Wells, Kennebunkport and Portland. We've been up there many times. Your right, the Maine shoreline is beautiful.

These pictures are snapshots taken from a video. The one from higher up is to give a perspective of the full scene. The closer one, when I lowered my MP1, the water was so calm it makes it almost look like a painting.

Like you, I was new to drones, up until this past January. I started to look at a new Spark and Mavic Air. I wanted something that I wouldn't want to upgrade soon. I wanted a 3 axis gimbal and good battery life. I wanted a drone more for videoing / photography, than for flying around. I read a...

Thanks. This is my first drone, have had it for a few months. I'm amazed at how steady the filming is, even in high winds.

My first video post, hope it works. This was shot about 3/4 of a mile away and 100 ft up. It was very windy out that morning and I got a "High Wind" warning at about 200 ft up, so I lowered it down to 100 ft. Using my Mavic Pro.

I was looking for a sun shade for my Mavic Pro Controller that would shade both the controller screen and my cell phone. I didn't see any that I liked so I decided to try making my own. I made it out of a cardboard gift box (a box that you would put a piece of clothing in). The hardest part was...

Thank you for your suggestions. I think that I will go with your option #3, for now. Your #1 suggestion sounds like me telling my mechanic that my car is making a noise and he tells me to just turn up the radio, Ha. I really don't want to play around with the parameters, so I'll stay away from 2...

Wow, you guys are very knowledgeable. I would like your opinions on which props would be best for me. I have a MP1 with a set of original DJI props. I'm not concerned with longer flight times (I have 3 batteries) or faster speeds. My main use is videos. But I would like to get a set of quieter...

I bought a used Mavic Pro Fly More Combo (3 batteries, charger, car charger, charging block, cables, extra props, shoulder bag), plus the seller gave me a 128GB micro SD card and it had 5 months remaining on DJI Refresh. I got it about 6 weeks ago on Craigslist. I paid $625. The seller showed me...
